But sometimes it\u2019s just too time-consuming to find the right one. We\u2019re bringing in another list of 10 noteworthy films that may have been forgotten by many. No soulless franchises and no remakes, only the good stuff. Choose one that suits your tastes the most, and then come back for another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Memento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83c\udfa5 MEMENTO (2000) | Full Movie Trailer in HD | 1080p\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HDWylEQSwFo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are one of those who are fascinated with little details, you should see Memento. It\u2019s a film with so many riddles that will make you think twice. Make sure you don\u2019t blink too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Atomic Blonde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Atomic Blonde Red Band Trailer #1 (2017) Charlize Theron Action Movie HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aieQrj9Yy8s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuous satisfaction and adrenaline rushes. There\u2019s no chance you\u2019ll be falling asleep while watching this one. If you were looking for a female John Wick, well, you just got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Watchmen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Watchmen (2009) Official Trailer - Zac Snyder Superhero Movie HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wglmbroElU0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you ever get tired of Marvel movies? Do you ever wonder: what next super powerful hero\/god they will think of? It gets old, but Watchmen doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s a lesser-known superhero film by DC Comics. The characters are well developed, interesting, not overpowered (i.e. they cannot annihilate the moon with the blink of an eye), and the story isn\u2019t clich\u00e9. All in all, it\u2019s definitely a solid choice for fantasy lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - Official Comic-Con Trailer [HD]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6rbPTQIdjmY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It probably should be named the King of CGI. Fans of Tolkien\u2019s LOTR have probably seen it already, but have you? The name explains the story, but there\u2019s much more going on. Critics were disappointed with the movie because it didn\u2019t pass the \u2018ultimate franchise test\u2019, but on the other hand, franchises are usually disappointing anyways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Rush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rush - Trailer #1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lzNbGH1oZJc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When legendary Formula 1 driver Nikki Lauda asked Daniel Br\u00fchl \u201cwhat\u2019s the hardest thing about playing me?\u201d, he answered: \u201cthe fact that you\u2019re still alive\u201d. You don\u2019t have to be a fan of this particular sport to watch it. It\u2019s a story of two completely antagonistic drivers that left a giant footprint on the history of the sport. If Lauda was satisfied with the movie, undoubtedly you will be too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Kubo and the Two Strings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vex0gPFnBvM\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful story that can be watched by anyone, with anyone. This is animation, but not as you know it. For everything you see in the film, there\u2019s a separate prop, mask, figure or statue. This is truly a work of art in the animation industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Four Rooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Four Rooms (1995) Official Trailer - Sammi Davis, Amanda De Cadenet Movie HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0hu12MP7b1U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve seen all Quentin Tarantino\u2019s films, but have you? Four Rooms is one of his older movies that represent what sort of arthouse he comes from. Spoiler, he plays a role as well. Make sure you don\u2019t stop watching after the first room, we promise, it gets weirdly better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. New Gods: Nezha Reborn&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Gods: Nezha Reborn | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4_FvK9FUG2I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuffed with action and plot twists throughout the movie, there will be plenty of \u201cwait, what\u2019s going on?\u201d moments. This Chinese animated film has a lot to it. The story develops fast and it doesn\u2019t give you a minutes break. The animation certainly states new standards for the industry and the creators have already promised plenty of new releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Bad times at the El Royale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bad Times at the El Royale | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y7wzBVARwaU?start=56&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A second hotel film on this list? It\u2019s just a good place for a twisted plot. Don\u2019t expect to understand anything at the beginning of the film, just make sure to enjoy each character separately (while you can). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. This is England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This Is England - Official Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r4NKuByJcu0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two sides of the skinhead culture. One that loves having fun, celebrating life, and the other that fiercely blames immigrants for their problems. This is a serious film, with many heart-warming and soul-destroying moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Written by: Ksystof Ogint | Subbing by: Peter Trythall<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone likes a good movie.
